The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

By letters from the several military agents, we learn that the reduction of the army is to reach the 10th regiment of infantry, which is to be the youngest standing corps: and that there are to be only 8 companies to a battalion. This large reform of the Land Forces is to be made up by continuing in the service a much larger Naval establishment than ever was hitherto known, as the British and French Courts, equally jealous of each other, do not expect the peace between the two countries will be of long duration; the great number of French Engineers, of late secretly sent to the East Indies with some other enterprises, not of a pacific tendency, aptly justify the suspicions of the British Ministry.
